The Rest of Summer



Our summer was fast and furious. When we were out of town, we were making great memories and spending time with people we love. When we were in town we were doing swimming lessons, getting ready for another trip, sending Justin on a trip, or getting ready for school to start. 

Here are some pics from our fun summer:

Swimming lessons! 






Bath time




Making geysers in the back yard with mentos



We loved having a fire pit this summer and used it quite a few times to have a cook out!







See that big thing in the background? That is our new A/C unit! And it has made me very happy this summer. So thankful for it!



Notice Charlie helping someone finish their dinner....




Daddy's got them all!



Love this happy, smiley boy!



Slip n' slide fun!








How many kids can we fit into the little kiddie pool?




Charlie is trained to stay downstairs. So when we're upstairs, he is often waiting for us to come back down.



Brandon and Weston in super hero capes. I don't think Weston likes his.





We discovered a gorgeous place to spend a sunny afternoon at Lake Wilderness. I think we'll be coming back here a lot next summer.










August and September mean that our blackberries are ripe! Fresh blackberry smoothies!




After having so much fun playing badminton in Utah, Brandon was determined to figure out how we could do it in our backyard. It's set up on a diagonal, and if we hit the birdie too hard they end up over the fence or in the blackberry bushes! But we enjoyed playing it a lot this summer!




And finally, one of our last weekends of summer we went camping at Ensign Ranch. In years past we've gone with the Millerbergs, but they moved to Utah. So we invited our good friends the Adams and had a ball!





Will we ever be able to go back to tent camping after this? This is the way to camp with a baby....hands down!





I love this picture because Weston pulled Justin's ear right when I was taking the picture.




Going on a fun family hike






We found a fun rope swing



The kids building a fun fort in the woods by the cabin during our down time






So fun to hang out with this sweet family!




This is not an ant hill. It is an ant mountain!



The water slide is a big hit as always






Everyone had a buddy to hang out with. Brandon loved getting to spend time with Max!




We got to ride horses







And make smores and play games



These two were by our cabin when I walked out the next morning



Here are the little monkeys in their fort




What a fun, busy summer! It went by way too fast!
